Hunter

The Hunter[3 ] is one of the bosses that Dante faces in Limbo City as part of his tribulations in DmC: Devil May Cry.

Description
The Hunter resembles an excessively large primate with gangly proportions, and dark gray skin and black fur. A deep scar runs down the center of his face, and his nose is completely gone, with only a large, open nasal cavity remaining. He wears a metal harness over his torso, and has a strap on his right leg to hold his grappling gun.

Story
This huge, gorilla-like demon is encountered at the pier near Dante's trailer. After a raucous night out, Kat wakes the young demon hunter from a hangover to warn him that he has left a trail for the demons to follow. Moments later Dante is pulled into Limbo by the Hunter demon, sitting in the water just off the coast. The Hunter proceeds to latch onto Dante's trailer with is grappling gun and pulls the abode off the pier. As Dante gathers his effects, battles ensue with Stygians, and soon afterwards a battle with the Hunter himself.

Defeating the Hunter, Dante slashes his face to render him unconscious, but the Hunter is encountered later on as Dante explores his childhood home.

Strategy
In battle he uses a giant combat knife to fight the young demon hunter, and also has an over-sized grappling claw to pull in targets. He is quite agile, and makes use of leaping attacks that can leave him momentarily defenseless while trying to pry his knife from the pier.

Trivia

 * The Hunter's scar bears a strong resemblance to that of another monstrous bipedal demon whose face was scarred in battle, Beowulf the Lightbeast. It's possible the Hunter may have also received his scars from Sparda
